If the fuses are blowing when you have the amp powered up, try removing the RCA lines and speaker connections and then power up the amp.
Make sure you have the proper power wires connected to the right input lugs. Hot (+12 volt post) from BAT to amp + lug, ground to chassis or body metal. (a bare metal ground is best)
If the amp still blows fuses, something inside the amp has gone south and a repair tech is needed. Figure ~$60.00 plus parts to get it running again.
If the amp turns on, stays on and does not blow fuses, that may mean the amp is OK, but you may have a problem with shorted subs or wrong load resistance in wiring of subs.
Try these simple tests first and come back with your results.
